Guest guest Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I know it can be tricky to self diagnose - but I get this incredible pain in my left side, lower than the rib cage, across from the belly button. It will also radiate towards the back. It comes and goes, and it the worst when I eat the wrong thing (like tomatoes or orange juice - both I obviously stay away from now) I have been to doctor just recently [again] and all my bloodwork looks normal. He ended up perscribing me with muscle relaxers & pain pills, as he thinks it's muscle related. I totally disagree. I think I have a really sensative spot in my intestines that is getting irritated at times, and maybe I have an ulcer or a torn up spot that is trying to heal, but experiences major set backs if I consume a food I can't yet tolerate. This pain was pretty severe before starting the diet 9 weeks ago, and now comes and goes. It's also way worse if I am experiencing any bloating or gas (like when I have eaten raw apples, I now stay away from those too). Anyone out there with a diagnosed ulcer, who can share if they have felt a similar pain. I don't currently have medical insurance, so I can't afford to pay out of pocket costs for ultrasounds, etc. Although, three years ago I when I had bunch of tests done & first went gluten free, all they could find to explain the pain was an ovarian cyst, which I thought would have created pain in a lower region and not so high up. I appreciate any comments, but understand if this question is a shot in the dark. Thanks! SCD 9 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
